What is TMJ?

TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders affect the joints that connect your jaw to your skull. These complex joints allow you to talk, chew, and yawn. When they don't function properly, it can cause significant pain and discomfort. TMJ disorders can result from various factors including teeth grinding, jaw injury, arthritis, or stress.
